Indian bowlers are having a gala time at ICC World Cup 2023 as they dominate the opposition in back-to-back matches. Speedster Mohammed Siraj has been showing a stellar performance right from the Asia Cup final to the Cricket World Cup and has now reached to top spot in the ICC rankings.
Siraj displaced South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj in the top of the bowlers' list. Among other Indian bowlers, fellow Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah has risen three spots to eighth, while Mohammed Shami jumped seven spots to be placed 10th on the chart.
With 14 wickets in three matches in this World Cup, Mohammed Shami has stormed ahead in the contest by becoming the highest-ever wicket-taking Indian in the history of the ODI World Cup. The fact that was not a starter in the playing XI at the beginning of the tournament sounds startling in hindsight.

Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav also climbed three places to be placed fourth, while fellow tweaker Ravindra Jadeja has moved up eight rungs to the 19th spot. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan is leading the all-rounders' chart, while Jadeja is the highest-ranked Indian at the 10th spot.
Jadeja is India's third-highest wicket-taker in the competition so far, scalping 14 wickets from eight matches at a good economy rate of 3.76, including a five-for.
With the bat, he has piled up 111 runs in four innings at an average of 55.50. Hardik Pandya, who will miss the remainder of the tournament after suffering an ankle injury in India's fourth match against Bangladesh, is down to 13th position.
